The invention is directed to a flower pot cover.

One knows flower pot covers made of crepe paper, which are suitable for the sale of the flower pot to be installed immediately in the shop. Other known flower pot covers, for example those made from chopsticks are not suitable for this purpose. They are generally used as decorative covers used in the home. The crepe paper sleeves have the disadvantage that they become unsightly after a short time and must therefore be removed. They also have the disadvantage that they are only bound and must be put together and that the folding of such crepe paper sleeves a certain Requires skill. For the plant there is such crepe paper wrapping, though Paper is air-permeable, disadvantageous since it prevents air circulation as a result of the over the edge of the Pot's overarching, as it were constricted collar severely hindered. '

There are also decorative covers made of rubber od. Like. Stretchable fabric for flower pots known from consist of a cylindrical piece of tubing, which with its upper edge is full of the upper edge of the pot and covers the pot to the bottom. This cylindrical decorative cover must the Smaller diameter of the downwardly tapering flower pot adapted and at the top

Ks are also known, tapering, stretchable decorative covers, which consist of an open jacket that must be closed for use with the help of special fasteners These well-known, expandable decorative covers made from (iiimmi also have the disadvantage that they hinder the air permeability of the porous flower pot because they fit snugly against the wall of the pot has recessed folds, whereby the bulges arising between the old ones are covered to increase the stability of the garbage. This creates a closed ring flange at the top and bottom, which seal off the air-impermeable shell at the top and bottom of the flower pot. The purpose of the folds consists in the fact that the decorative cover can stand on its own on the l'duinenbrett. The casing produced as a molded rubber body is, since it requires complicated hollow shapes for its production, extremely expensive and, despite the folds, not air-permeable. The task of the invention is to create a permanent, moisture-resistant, air-permeable, washable, easy-to-use and inexpensive flower pot cover that can be easily pulled over the flower pot. After the crimping, this happens in that it consists of a molded body in the form of a truncated cone, which is made of a plastic-based foam. A particularly cheap embodiment of the invention consists in the fact that the flower pot cover is cut from a foam sheet and connected to the shock channel of the outer surface. An adhesive connection is particularly advantageous, an adhesive acting as a solvent for the foam being used. Such an adhesive connection on the edges is inconspicuous and also durable, since the adhesive loosens the material on the adhesive strips and binds it tightly after it has evaporated. It has proven to be expedient to use foam sheets with a thickness of 3 to 4111 m so that a sufficient adhesive surface is available at the edges. Since the solvent used as the adhesive dissolves the material r) 5 at the glue point, the glue point takes on the color of the material and is therefore inconspicuous. An advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in that, in order to achieve a plastic effect, the dye for the nozzle decoration only covers the surface of the gates of the Sehauinkunststolte without filling the forums. In this way, the cover ornaments on the foam are extremely durable and are not destroyed when the material is stretched. It is advisable to use a flower pot cover lying between the two sizes for two successive flower pot sizes in order to reduce the storage of the same. This is easily possible due to the elasticity of the material. In many cases it can be desirable that the height of the flower pot cover is somewhat greater than the height of the flower pot intended for it, but that at the same time the cover can only be pulled over the pot with a certain amount of tension. This ensures that the edge of the shell protruding over the edge of the flower pot is drawn inwards somewhat and thereby covers the edge of the flower pot. The object of the invention is shown in the drawing, for example, namely Fig. Ι shows the section of a not yet glued together flowerpot cover made of a foam sheet, Fig. 2 the flowerpot cover made from the cutout and glued together at the abutting edges, Fig. 3 the decorated finished flower pot cover with flower pot, Fig. 4 enlarges the structure of the flower pot cover and Fig. 5 greatly enlarges the color filling of the gates. The section 1, which is shown as the outer surface of a truncated cone, is glued together at the abutting edges 2 and 3. The Klebstcllc is denoted by 4 in FIG. The material contains many pores created by the foam process, which result in a cell-shaped structure over the entire cross-section. Since the material is first cast in raw blocks and processed into mats or strips on special machines, the pores 5 are cut open on the surface of the material, as shown in FIG. 5, greatly enlarged. The decorations 6 are achieved by applying paint 7, which does not fill the pores, but rather covers the edges of the pores. This creates an extremely effective three-dimensional impression, as the pores are emphasized to the eye by the application of color. In Fig. 3 it is also shown that the edge 8 can turn inside out around the edge 9 of the flower pot 10 with appropriate dimensioning of the flower pot cover in order to cover the flower pot edge. The air access to the soil of the plant 1x5 is not hindered by this. i ATKNTANSI'KUCII K: 1.
